Here we offer 10 different hand-brushed Japanese Fortitude tattoo designs by Master Japanese Calligrapher Eri Takase. For these Fortitude tattoo designs the fonts are different, but the characters and the meaning are the same. So order the style you like - the meaning is the same for each design.

Fortitude in Japanese is 堅忍 which is read kennin. The Japanese word kennin also means "perseverance" and is composed of the kanji堅 (read ken) meaning "strict; hard; tough; reliable" and 忍 (read nin) meaning "endure; bear". kennin is one of the Seven Heavenly Virtues and is one of the Four Cardinal Virtues. For more information see the Wikipedia article Seven Heavenly Virtues.

This artwork is a beautiful visual reminder of the fundamental importance of being strong when times are tough. With fortitude we can overcome.
